To the new leaders: Being here is a life changing experience! Enjoy every minute of it. Be open-minded and try new things. Make a ton of new friends and step out of your comfort zone

OELC is a place to become a better leader and grow as a person. Remember you are here for a reason – you are special!

This experience changed me and taught me so much about leadership, communication and taking risks… I met so many incredible people that to this day I’m still in touch with.

You’re a leader. That is why you are here, be open to change, try new roles ….Your group will bond in amazing ways and you will grow

This is an amazing place.

All of the girls in my cabin were absolutely amazing… I know that we’re all going to be friends forever.

The teacher facilitators were all outstanding and very supportive and they all made us feel very welcome

I’ve learned that it’s okay to make mistakes it’s okay to ask for help and it’s okay to have fun… and I had a lot of fun!

My daughter had an exceptional and truly eye-opening experience at so many levels thanks to your program….. I wish all kids could experience such a safe haven for learning, self-expression, personal growth, and empowerment.

I would like express my gratitude for giving Dan the opportunity to attend OELC. I picked him up last night and he was a different boy. He was self assured, confident and powerful. He said he felt completely at home in the OELC environment.

Our daughter absolutely loved her experience. I know she grew, as a person in a positive way and that would not have happened without the professionalism and support of your staff. Both of our daughters have had the privilege of attending OELC as grade 6 students

I teach intermediate at Emily Carr PS in Oakville and we had 5 of our students attend OELC athletics course this summer. I held a meeting today with the kids and they couldn't stop raving about it - one said it was "life changing.

OELC is the only place that I have ever been in my life that fosters acceptance of self and others. ….Whereas other camps focus on improving a specific skill, OELC focuses on improving the person.

I wanted to thank you so much for your generous sponsorship in sending one of our band students to OELC. As soon as Andrea got back from camp, I received a lovely email from her and I would like to share with you a few things that she wrote

The leadership course that OELC put on for my school was phenomenal. They challenged each of my students to see themselves as leaders and to expand their comfort zone. Most importantly they empowered each student with feelings of self-worth and acceptance. The energy of the staff was through the roof, and we could not have designed a better way to start the academic year.
